I have to do something with all of this beauty
I woke up this morning to a text from Johnny saying, "AHHHHHHHHH SNOW!". I looked out the window... it's so beautiful outside. I love New York City in the winter time.
So right now I'm staying in... reflecting on everything. This past year... this past week... the music that's become so important to me... the people I can't stop thinking about. Life is very interesting... and this past year has been such an incredible whirlwind. It may sound overly optimistic... but I feel like the past few months have proven to me that time heals. There's so much beauty and heartbreak that can plague every day... every life. And it's mind blowing to me to be able to observe all of this. There's no guarantee of anything... "You never know" has become my mantra. Life is weird and crazy and painful and beautiful... and this year has been the ultimate example of that. I just kind of feel like this is a pretty incredible time in my life.
I'm listening to Microcastle on vinyl right now... it's pretty perfect. Johnny's bringing the Fleet Foxes album over in a little bit (shoutout to P4K's best album of the year, well deserved... though Microcastle gets my personal vote). Eating a blueberry muffin, waiting for Johnny to come over so we can take pictures of the city on my snowy roof. I go home tomorrow... I'm excited to see my parents and go to CSS and see the Avedon exhibit and see movies and hang out with Jen and Andrew and watch Oprah and all that holiday nonsense that it unavoidably adorable and heartwarming.
Here's to hoping that if 2008 maybe wasn't the year for you, or for the people around you... that at least you gained something from it... be it new perspective or appreciation or inspiration that can carry on into 2009. January 20th is only one month away...
